This is a continued response to dev’s stuff on writing over at livejournal, as mentioned and linked in the last post
Writing, as with any creative, is an exercise in putting yourself on the line regardless of whether or not you’re “good enough.” For me… I create not because I am great, but because I […]

I was interested to find that, in retrospect, I may have actually said something useful to someone earlier today. That actually makes me pretty happy, since I always hope somewhere deep inside that I can do something helpful.
Suppose that’s the altruist in my fighting to get out.
Reading this was most certainly an upper after […]

If you’ve talked to me over my time here in China, especially lately, you know I’ve been struggling internally with a few different issues. One is the idea of copyright and the infuriating lack of access to things. Another is the absence of good translations, and also the wrongness/rightness of making derivatives/translations. […]

Today I was adding along to a post over at domynoes.network forums and found that what I posted there about my favorite authors was worth bringing up over here.

I like biology, I like bugs, and anyone who met me at Hampshire knows that I am a big fan of interdisciplinary studies. This means I was all jazzed up by ethnomusicology, very excited by studying socioeconomic impacts of environmental change, and very jazzed up by human ecology. Things link together and interact […]

I haven’t posted any quizzes here to date, but this was just a little too insightful to stay away from.
What Color is Your Brain? brought to you by Quizilla
At work or in school: I work best by myself. I like to focus on my ideas until my desire for understanding is satisfied. I am […]

五月天 is one of my more favorite bands here in China. They’re actually Taiwanese, but they listen to everyone here, be they from Korea, Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, or mainland China. Their newest music kinda saps out and attempts to sound like any of the “boy bands” out there, but I like a […]

I love comics. I really do. Ever since I was a little kid, regardless of whether it was my brother’s comic books or the Sunday funnies, I have always loved comics. I wish more people loved comics because I think it’s a medium with so many possibilities if not mainly attractive to […]

Something bothers me about people who are calculating and asking for favors. I suppose it just gets up my “sliminess” hackles, or breeds distrust. The end result is the same: I have a very hard time with it.
I got a phone call from someone urgently seeking a woman I used to know. […]
